It has been 7 weeks and 1 day since Gracie's Very Bad Day. She is doing very well. She is completely ambulatory - she walks, she runs (not a pretty sight however). She is happy! Gracie's back right leg is rather unstable and weak, it just doesn't work right. But she is able to get around, the big challenge is climbing and descending stairs, and staying upright when she "runs" or tries to turn quickly. She also can not wag her tail very much. Gracie was always a huge tail wagger - I do miss that, and hope it comes back. The thinking is that she may still improve over the next 6-12 months, but probably not as dramatically as she did in the first 5 weeks - where she went from paralyzed to walking. Thanks to you who have inquired about her progress - Lisa, Terri, Debbie, Daisey Dog, and others.
Gracie on the big bed. She can jump up there all by herself
Gus offers moral support.
As does Bill.
Napping with Gracie - cheering her to wellness! It's the least we can do!
The fact that none of you gave up is the best. Cheering her on is super medicine!!!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear she's made much improvement and I'll continue to pray for more!! I think I'd miss the tail wagging too.
ReplyDeleteWe are glad to hear she is doing better. The wagging is there, even if you can't see it!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a three dog night!
